Blog about Game Design, Games and Computer Art

Fritzing is a new initiative that wants to bring us a step closer to do-it-yourself made wonderland, like for example Processing did some years ago for creative coding. This projects wants to shorten the development cycle between concept, protoype and realisation of electronic devices and bring people together. The focus is on Electronic Design Automation and I bet some people now cross fingers, because they had equal ideas.

“Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product.”

Martin,
thanks a lot for posting about us!
The name “Fritzing” is actually a hommage to Processing on the one hand and Arduino on the other: Arduino is the name of a medieval king that lived in Ivrea, where the project was founded. So we figured why not use the Old Fritz, famous former emperor in Potsdam, for our project. A known lover of architecture and the arts. And the sound is nice, too..

We hope to release early alphas soon, and a more publicly accessible version at the end of the year.
So keep your fingers crossed, or better yet, help us out – we’re still hiring!
